      The Ecclesiastical Courts. Brighton, Jan...

      tion . The Courts of Commissaries , appointed by the bishop , exercise jurisdiction within prescribed limits , and the Archidiaconal Courts , according to the terms of their patents , or to local custom . There are also Peculiars of various descriptions , royal , archiepiscopal , episcopal , decanal , sub-decanal , prebendal , rectorial , and vicarial , and also some Manorial Courts . Several of the Peculiars possess voluntary but not contentious jurisdiction , and merely do or sell what no one opposes , as granting dispensations , licenses , faculties , remnants of Papal extortion , and keeping an office open for the purpose .

      The appeal from each of the Provincial Courts lies to the Queen , and a commission formerly issued under the great seal , in each case , to certain delegates . By the recommendation of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners the jurisdiction of the delegates was transferred , with the same powers , by the statute 2 and 3 William IV ., to the Privy Council . The ecclesiastical laws , as now existing , have been for upwards of three centuries administered in the principal courts by a body of men associated 38 a distinct profession , for the practice of " the canon and imperial Roman law . " Some of the members of this body in the year 1576 purchased the site upon standsand at their

      which Doctors' Common's * now , own expense erected houses for the residence of the iudges and advocates , and buildings for holding the Ecclesiastical and Admiralty Courts . In the year 1768 a royal charter was obtained , by virtue of which the members of the society were incorporated under the name of " The College of Doctors of Law exercent in the Ecclesiastical and Admiralty Courts . " This college consists of a president ( the Dean of Arches for the time being ) , and of those doctors of law , who having taken that degree either at Oxford or Cambridge , shall have been elected fellows in the manner prescribed by charter . From the College of Advocates the archbishop has always selected , the

      judges of the archiepiscopal courts . Proctors in these courts discharge duties similar , to those of solicitors and attornies in courts of law or equity . This singular monopoly has been thus humorously described . *• Doctors' Commons ( says Mr . Dickens ) is a little out-of-the-way place , where they administer what is called ecclesiastical law , and play all kind * of tricks with obsolete old monsters of acts of Parliament which three-fourths of the world know

      nothing about . It ' s a place that has an ancient monopoly in suits about people's wills and people ' s marriages , and disputes among ships and boats . You shall go there one day and find them blundering through half the nautical terms in Young ' s Dictionary ; and you shall go there another day and find them deep in the evidence pro and con respecting a clergyman who has misbehaved himself ; and you shall find the judge in the nautical case the advocate in the clergyman case , or contrariwise . "

      " The advocates are civilians . The proctors employ the advocates . Both get very comfortable fees , and altogether they make a mighty snug little party , On the whole I would recommend you to take to Doctors' Commons kindly David . "f With your permission I will continue the subject in another letter . I remain , Sir , your obedient servant , W . C ,

      Health Of London During The Week. (From ...

      HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . ( From the Registrar-General ' s Report . ) The present return exhibits a decrease in the mortality of the metropolitan districts during the week that ended last Saturday ; the deaths , which in the two preceding weeks were 1023 and 1037 , having now fallen to 956 . The average number of deaths in the 10 corresponding -weeks was 1104 , compared -with which ( without any correction for supposed encrease of population ) the account for last week presents a favourable result . But an inspection of the Tables of Ages and Fatal Diseases shows that , though there is a marked diminution of mortality from bronchitis , which had previously thinned the ranks of the aged , who are the greatest sufferers by > it ; and though the number who

      die from what is rather vaguely described as " old age , has declined from 46 in the preceding week to 35 in the last , and in some complaints common to the young there is also a decrease , yet pneumonia , which is principally fatal to children , has actually encreased , and , in the epidemic class , smallpox and fever exhibit a considerable advance . The registrars again report various families which have been fatally visited by smallpox , and where vaccination is neglected from " prejudice entertained against it . " The births of 764 boys and 759 girls , in all 1523 children , were registered in the week . The average of six corresponding weeks in 1845-50 is 1382 .

Since Wednesday , holders being unwilling to submit to any decline in prices , there is only a very limited business doing at former rates . There are now very few cargoes from the Mediterranean and Black Seas oil the coast . Polish Odessa Wheat is held for 3 ( Ja ., but we have not heard of any sales at that price . The supplies of Foreign Barley are more than adequate to the demand , which is very languid , and sales cannot be made , to any extent , -without submitting to a reduction of ( id . to Is . per quarter . Fine Malting Barley is scarce , and readily taken at fully former ratea . With fair nupplies of Oats , Foreign , Iri . sh , and from our own coast , as well as per railway , trade is exceedingly dull , at a decline of ( id . per quarter .
